Valve Promising Three Big Surprises

Expect to hear big things from the creators of Half Life and Portal over the next year.

Valve president Gabe Newell told PC Gamer UK in a recent interview (via CVG) the company has "at least" three major reveals planned out over the next twelve months.

"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again," Newell told the magazine.

"We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least."

Devoted fans are hopeful one of those surprises is the long-awaited reveal of Half-Life 2: Episode Three, which Valve has gone silent on. The company's other major title, Portal 2, hits PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in February 2011.
